Difficulty: Novice
Bruce Springsteen's version of Bob Dylan's classic.
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'
D MajorD G+G C majorC
As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun;
G+G D MajorD riff G+G
Sayin', it may be the chimes of freedom flashin'
D MajorD G+G
Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight;
C majorC G+G A minorAm D MajorD
Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight.
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G GC D MajorD G+G
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
D MajorD G+G C majorC
Well, in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched
G+G D MajorD riff G+G D MajorD
With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin'
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain;
G+G D MajorD riff G+G
Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin'
D MajorD G+G
Yeah, tollin' for the rebel, yeah, tollin' for the raked
C majorC G+G A minorAm D MajorD
Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked.
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
Yeah, tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
G+G
Oh yeah! (instrumental solo)
D MajorD G+G C majorC
And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed
G+G D MajorD riff G+G D MajorD
There's a hypnotic, splattered mist was slowly liftin'
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
Well, electric light still struck like arrows
G+G D MajorD riff G+G
Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin'
D MajorD G+G
Well, tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless, secret trail
C majorC G+G A minorAm D MajorD
For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale.
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
riff G+G
Yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
D MajorD G+G C majorC
Well, starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught,
G+G D MajorD riff G+G D MajorD
Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended
C majorC G+G A minorAm D MajorD
As we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin' ended?"
D MajorD G+G
Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
For the countless, confused, accused, misused strung out ones at worst.
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
riff G+G
And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
Uh uh uh... (to end)
